I was on the "jury" and I voted guilty on abusing the
students, not guilty on membership of the DE and not
guilty on murder. My problem with the murder charge is
that they did not attempt to prove that Dumbledore had
died. I had reasonable doubt that any crime had been
committed at all. IMO, the counsels should have
stipulated at the outset that the victim was indeed
dead. If that had been done, then I guess I would have
concluded that it was the fall that killed him and
have had to vote guilty.

The trial was a highlight of the conference, by the
way. Great job, guys!
